To identify various types of bioactive compounds present in unexplored plant Acacia planifrons seeds (wild) by using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy.
The seed of Acacia planifrons was extracted with ethanol at room temperature for 72 hours fro phytochemical and GC-MS analysis.
The GC-MS analysis revealed seven active compounds like Pentadecanoic acid, 14-Methyl, Methyl ester (6.7%), 9,12-Octadecadienoyl chloride (Z,Z) (46.6%), Heptacosanoic acid, Methyl ester (4.72%), E-2 Octadecadecen-1-ol (24.16%), 18-Nonadecen-1-ol (6.41%), 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, Methyl Ester (9.11%) and 11-Tridecen-1-ol (2.20%) in the ethanol extract of Acacia planifrons seeds. Further studies are needed to isolate the active compounds and elucidate the mechanism of action for various disorders.
